ABSTRACT
Mutations in VPS16 have been identified to be responsible for generalized dystonia. We screened VPS16 variants in 53 unrelated subjects with isolated dystonia via whole-exome sequencing. A novel pathogenic frameshift mutation p.R643fs* was found in a patient with early-onset multifocal dystonia with prominent oromandibular and bulbar involvement. Our findings expanded the spectrum of VPS16-related dystonia and suggested that mutations in VPS16 should be considered in patients with progressive early-onset dystonia.
